| Summary |
"A biography of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche"-- Provided by publisher. |
|
One of the most enigmatic figures in philosophy, Nietzsche's concepts-- the Übermensch, the will to power, slave morality-- have fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the human condition. Prideaux brings readers into the world of this brilliant, eccentric, and deeply troubled man, illuminating the events and people that shaped his life and work. From his devoutly Christian upbringing through his teaching career, lonely philosophizing on high mountains, and heart-breaking descent into madness, she documents Nietzsche's intellectual and emotional life. -- adapted from jacket |
